Switch from Omen Audio Control to Realtek Audio Manager

[SJBarr]

 How can I switch out the Omen Audio Control: 

for the Realtek Audio Manager:

 

The Omen Audio Control has almost no customization and lends terrible sound. The Realtek Audio Manager has many settings and includes an EQ.

Thanks in advance!

I just restored my computer.

When I went to the Audio Control Panel, i found this:

Perfect!

But when I plugged in speakers or headphones, it turned into this:

NOOO!!! I don't want this. I want it to stay like the first picture!

The above image refers to the Bang and Olufsen software application,

To uninstall the software: In search bar type Bang and Olufsen and right click on it and uninstall the software.

Since I did the restore and did not use HP support assistant, there's nothing on my system that is B&O or Omen in the Apps or Programs. There is just the Realtek driver which I uninstalled. After a restart, it's back.
